I am creating the DBA Pen-Pal Business. Because we all love receiving PMs.
The point of this is to get to know an user you don't know well. You pen-pal through PM, you can start of with basic (favourite colour) and depending on your comfort zone, you get as personal as you wish. Though don't get too too personal.
If you want to be a pen-pal with someone, state who want to be pen-pals with on here. If your name shows up reply saying you will be their pen-pal. Then start pen-paling. IT MUST BE SOMEONE YOU ARE NOT RELATED TOO!
pen-pal away.

I keep wondering whether to broach the subject of audio-tape correspondence. That's the only good form of communication for me.

Actually, I bought a mic with a holiday gift card thinking of you. I haven't got a chance to put it to use yet, but perhaps one day...
(I don't understand why I'm so embarrassed about talking into mics... I chatter non-stop whether people want to hear me or not, but mics... lol)
Anyway, about this penpal thing. I give it my blessing, but PLEASE nobody go all weird and stalkery okay? And if someone DOES go all weird and stalkery please pm me yes, yes? I don't want anything bad happening over the pms, because, well, I can't mod your pms since the p stands for private. And that means responsibility and not fighting and, um, something...
lol.
if anyone wants to penpal me, I can't guarantee I'll always respond and odds are you'll just be getting repeats of my c-box comments, but there you go.
anyway, I said I was going to bed hours ago, and then I didn't... boo me.

I insist on going all weird and stalkery. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that's my minimum requirement and whatnot. I'm very much afraid that it's a dealbreaker, as they say, them people who says them things.

*dons eyeglasses with eyeballs-on-springs and lurks under windows taking notes*
Weird? Stalkery? Who me?
Heh.
I like it better when all the chatter and blather is out in the open myself, because then I can get to know multiple people at once, but I'm good with it if anyone wants to add pms, sure.

Fair enough. I am not saying you have to get personal, like tell them what tooth paste you use. You can talk about TV. The idea was to only get know someone you don't know well. And get PMS because they are fun. Oh well, it was just an idea. I will scrap it if people are too worried. |

I think it seems safe enough, I mean so long as nobody does anything ridiculous and mapquests Magnus directions to their house (lol I'm kidding magnus) and Newton manages to keep the Master out of her pm box we'll be just ducky!

The Master left a little while ago. I kicked him out, he didn't take too nicely.
Well Merry, anyone you would want to get to know better?

I'd be up for it. I'm mostly too shy to initiate any kind of contact myself, other than say, sometimes the C-box, so this is a good excuse.

I like this idea. I tend to get nervous talking to a group like this (at least in one where I know people are actually paying attention, not to say that that's a bad thing, of course). However, I'm not particularly picky about who I talk to - just so long as you know what to expect: I ramble. A lot. About nonsense and stuff, most often.
So...yeah... that could be fun if someone else also rambles about life, the universe, and how everyone should eat more pie and so on and so forth.

Magnus, I'm at least prepared to consider the possibility of your existence - if you are a hypothesis, you're a fairly well-argued one.
I'd love to tell someone else my favourite colour, toothpaste etc, if they were really interested; and if anyone wants to get creepy or stalkery with me, well, I'll at least hear you out...

Anyone stalking me had better set her/his sights a little higher, I must say... I mean, just take a look at my apartment! Stalkers of the world, you can do better!

I like how this conversation has turn into Magnus being a stalker and JJpor willing to tell us all his daily routine. Magnus, I'm at least prepared to consider the possibility of your existence - if you are a hypothesis, you're a fairly well-argued one. I'd love to tell someone else my favourite colour, toothpaste etc, if they were really interested; and if anyone wants to get creepy or stalkery with me, well, I'll at least hear you out... you know I totally missed the Hypothesis part of Clockets post. |
